- Welcome to Day 2 of Football Week in the Parkland! I enjoyed myself (and the pancakes) at Cornerstone Credit Union yesterday morning as we kicked it off with a pancake breakfast. A few changes the rest of the way because of the weather. The scheduled BBQ at Sobey's today (TUE) at noon has been moved to Thursday. While tomorrow's (WED) Pancake Breakfast at the Yorkton Regional High School has been bumped to Friday.
Here's Barry Sharpe with some details about the Rider Museum at Army & Navy.
- Coach Danny McKay and the rest of Team Saskatchewan had another convincing win at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championship in Ottawa. Team Sask beat New Brunswick 10-2 this morning, improving to 3-and-0. They finish the round robin tomorrow (WED) against Alberta.
- Big thanks to former Terrier Josh Garbutt (now manager of Flaman Fitness) and his staff. My wife wanted an elliptical trainer for her "baby present" and they hooked me up with a great one and were extremely helpful. It's got an iPod dock and a fan built-in... pretty sweet! Probably wouldn't hurt for me to go for a spin on it either! And again, she ASKED for one... it's not me saying "you could use some exercise!" Still no baby by the way... thanks to all who've asked this past week or so. Due date is Saturday, and they won't let her go past May 18th... so NO MORE than 2 weeks from now, and we're both hoping it's a lot less than that. Exciting times!
- Dauphin's in the driver's seat at the RBC Cup. They're 2-and-0 after a 3-2 win over Brockville (1-1) last night. They've picked up two one-goal wins over a couple highly-touted teams (Vernon/Brockville). They play La Ronge (1-1) tonight (TUE) and Oakville (0-2) tomorrow to finish up. A win over La Ronge would clinch 1st place for the Kings, which would see them play the 4th place finisher in the semis. Adam Bartko's expected to play goal for La Ronge, after Yorkton product Joel Danyluk left their game on Tuesday vs Vernon with an injury. It was sure looking like Joel had taken over that #1 job, but now the Ice Wolves will learn what a luxury it is having two capable guys. I'm finding it hard to cheer for anyone but La Ronge... with so many local connections... Danyluk (former Terrier, from Yorkton), Aaron Decorby (former Millionaire, from Melville), Colton MacPherson (Whitewood), Skylar Hladun (Canora) and Trainer Ron Holloway (former Terrier Trainer, from Broadview).
- WHL final resumes tonight in Kennewick, Washington. Calgary Hitmen lead the Tri-City Amercans 2-0 in that Best-of-Seven. Taylor Hall, Ryan Ellis and the Windsor Spitfires have a chance to advance to their 2nd straight Memorial Cup tonight, taking a 3-0 series lead into Game 4 against the Barrie Colts. Former Melville Millionaire Tyler Howe and the Moncton Wildcats lead the Saint John Sea Dogs 2-0 heading into tonight's Game 3. The Memorial Cup starts next Friday (May 14) in Brandon.
